B Correct answer
Explanation

Total distance to cross = train length + bridge length = 110 + 132 = 242 meters. Speed = 72 km/hr = 72 × (1000/3600) = 20 m/s. Time = Distance/Speed = 242/20 = 12.1 seconds. Option A (9.8 sec) would require a higher speed, while options C and D don't match the calculation.
